Wouldn't know, don't own either. But I was the first commenting in this thread that I found the D easier to use than my film body, which as later quoted upthread.

Having used an ME, I certainly find the interface on teh D, even with the green button, easier than the two-button method on the ME.

And why would you have to knob twiddle with the K2, or be able to with the ME?

I find hitting the green button, as well as the stop-down metering method, easier and quicker than adjusting shutter speed on my KR-5sv. KNob twiddling is just not as quick.

In what way is it easier? The fact that those cameras don't have an automatic shutter speed? Sorry but that analysis is just so much sophistry, but to follow that logic, or lack there of, why not compare that to other cameras that were designed for those lenses like the K2 or the ME, it what way is the green button/AE lock method superior?

I personally have noticed inconsistent metering results with a variety of K/M lenses when using the green button method. The meter just isn't as accurate or responsive as the level of light decreases, that's just a fact of life. I don't have those problems when the lenses are used on the MX and LX. The saving grace of the D is being able to check the histogram when exposure is critical, but in many situations it would be nice to be able to just trust the meter. Unfortunately just due to the nature of the beast you can't.
